      ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat · 69f594a3
      Eric Paris 提交于
      Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions
      on that process.  If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the
      process which might have security and attack implications.  If the current
      task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields
      are filled with inocuous (0) values.  Since this check and a subsequent denial
      is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials.
      
      This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without
      flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

      capabilities: remove task_ns_* functions · f1c84dae
      Eric Paris 提交于
      task_ in the front of a function, in the security subsystem anyway, means
      to me at least, that we are operating with that task as the subject of the
      security decision.  In this case what it means is that we are using current as
      the subject but we use the task to get the right namespace.  Who in the world
      would ever realize that's what task_ns_capability means just by the name?  This
      patch eliminates the task_ns functions entirely and uses the has_ns_capability
      function instead.  This means we explicitly open code the ns in question in
      the caller.  I think it makes the caller a LOT more clear what is going on.

      ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach · 8a88951b
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
      area.
      
      1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
         stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
         not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
         thread which can initiate another group-stop.
      
         Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).
      
      2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
         and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
         but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
         in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.
      
         Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.
      
         Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
         current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
         possible similar problems.

      connector: add an event for monitoring process tracers · f701e5b7
      Vladimir Zapolskiy 提交于
      This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every
      successful process tracer attach or detach.
      
      If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports
      process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On
      disconnection null process id is returned.
      
      Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism
      to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined
      process policies can be applied to them if needed.
      
      Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process
      explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee
      or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.

      ptrace: implement PTRACE_LISTEN · 544b2c91
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The previous patch implemented async notification for ptrace but it
      only worked while trace is running.  This patch introduces
      PTRACE_LISTEN which is suggested by Oleg Nestrov.
      
      It's allowed iff tracee is in STOP trap and puts tracee into
      quasi-running state - tracee never really runs but wait(2) and
      ptrace(2) consider it to be running.  While ptracer is listening,
      tracee is allowed to re-enter STOP to notify an async event.
      Listening state is cleared on the first notification.  Ptracer can
      also clear it by issuing INTERRUPT - tracee will re-trap into STOP
      with listening state cleared.
      
      This allows ptracer to monitor group stop state without running tracee
      - use INTERRUPT to put tracee into STOP trap, issue LISTEN and then
      wait(2) to wait for the next group stop event.  When it happens,
      PTRACE_GETSIGINFO provides information to determine the current state.
      
      Test program follows.
      
        #define PTRACE_SEIZE		0x4206
        #define PTRACE_INTERRUPT	0x4207
        #define PTRACE_LISTEN		0x4208

        int main(int argc, char **argv)
        {

      	  if (!tracer) {

      		  }
      		  printf("tracer: stopped=%d signo=%d\n",
      			 si.si_signo != SIGTRAP, si.si_signo);
      		  if (si.si_signo != SIGTRAP)
      			  ptrace(PTRACE_LISTEN, tracee, NULL, NULL);
      		  else
      			  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, NULL);
      		  goto repeat;
      	  }
      
      	  for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
      		  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
      		  printf("mother: SIGSTOP\n");
      		  kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
      		  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
      		  printf("mother: SIGCONT\n");
      		  kill(tracee, SIGCONT);
      	  }
      	  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
      
      	  kill(tracer, SIGKILL);
      	  kill(tracee, SIGKILL);
      	  return 0;
        }
      
      This is identical to the program to test TRAP_NOTIFY except that
      tracee is PTRACE_LISTEN'd instead of PTRACE_CONT'd when group stopped.
      This allows ptracer to monitor when group stop ends without running
      tracee.

      ptrace: implement PTRACE_INTERRUPT · fca26f26
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, there's no way to trap a running ptracee short of sending a
      signal which has various side effects.  This patch implements
      PTRACE_INTERRUPT which traps ptracee without any signal or job control
      related side effect.
      
      The implementation is almost trivial.  It uses the group stop trap -
      SIGTRAP | PTRACE_EVENT_STOP << 8.  A new trap flag
      JOBCTL_TRAP_INTERRUPT is added, which is set on PTRACE_INTERRUPT and
      cleared when any trap happens.  As INTERRUPT should be useable
      regardless of the current state of tracee, task_is_traced() test in
      ptrace_check_attach() is skipped for INTERRUPT.
      
      PTRACE_INTERRUPT is available iff tracee is attached with
      PTRACE_SEIZE.
      
      Test program follows.

      	  return 0;
        }
      
      When called without argument, tracee is seized from running state,
      interrupted and then detached back to running state.

      ptrace: implement PTRACE_SEIZE · 3544d72a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      PTRACE_ATTACH implicitly issues SIGSTOP on attach which has side
      effects on tracee signal and job control states.  This patch
      implements a new ptrace request PTRACE_SEIZE which attaches a tracee
      without trapping it or affecting its signal and job control states.
      
      The usage is the same with PTRACE_ATTACH but it takes PTRACE_SEIZE_*
      flags in @data.  Currently, the only defined flag is
      PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL which is a temporary flag to enable PTRACE_SEIZE.
      PTRACE_SEIZE will change ptrace behaviors outside of attach itself.
      The changes will be implemented gradually and the DEVEL flag is to
      prevent programs which expect full SEIZE behavior from using it before
      all the behavior modifications are complete while allowing unit
      testing.  The flag will be removed once SEIZE behaviors are completely
      implemented.
      
      * PTRACE_SEIZE, unlike ATTACH, doesn't force tracee to trap.  After
        attaching tracee continues to run unless a trap condition occurs.
      
      * PTRACE_SEIZE doesn't affect signal or group stop state.
      
      * If PTRACE_SEIZE'd, group stop uses PTRACE_EVENT_STOP trap which uses
        exit_code of (signr | PTRACE_EVENT_STOP << 8) where signr is one of
        the stopping signals if group stop is in effect or SIGTRAP
        otherwise, and returns usual trap siginfo on PTRACE_GETSIGINFO
        instead of NULL.
      
      Seizing sets PT_SEIZED in ->ptrace of the tracee.  This flag will be
      used to determine whether new SEIZE behaviors should be enabled.
      
      Test program follows.
      
        #define PTRACE_SEIZE		0x4206
        #define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL	0x80000000

        {
      	  pid_t tracee;
      
      	  tracee = fork();
      	  if (tracee == 0) {
      		  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
      		  while (1) {
      			  printf("tracee: alive\n");
      			  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
      		  }
      	  }
      
      	  if (argc > 1)
      		  kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
      
      	  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
      
      	  ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL,
      		 (void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL);
      	  if (argc > 1) {

      	  nanosleep(&ts3s, NULL);
      	  printf("tracer: exiting\n");
      	  return 0;
        }
      
      When the above program is called w/o argument, tracee is seized while
      running and remains running.  When tracer exits, tracee continues to
      run and print out messages.

      job control: introduce JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP and use it for group stop trap · 73ddff2b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      do_signal_stop() implemented both normal group stop and trap for group
      stop while ptraced.  This approach has been enough but scheduled
      changes require trap mechanism which can be used in more generic
      manner and using group stop trap for generic trap site simplifies both
      userland visible interface and implementation.
      
      This patch adds a new jobctl flag - JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP.  When set, it
      triggers a trap site, which behaves like group stop trap, in
      get_signal_to_deliver() after checking for pending signals.  While
      ptraced, do_signal_stop() doesn't stop itself.  It initiates group
      stop if requested and schedules JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP and returns.  The
      caller - get_signal_to_deliver() - is responsible for checking whether
      TRAP_STOP is pending afterwards and handling it.
      
      ptrace_attach() is updated to use JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP instead of
      JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and __ptrace_unlink() to clear all pending trap
      bits and TRAPPING so that TRAP_STOP and future trap bits don't linger
      after detach.
      
      While at it, add proper function comment to do_signal_stop() and make
      it return bool.
      
      -v2: __ptrace_unlink() updated to clear JOBCTL_TRAP_MASK and TRAPPING
           instead of JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK.  This avoids accidentally
           clearing JOBCTL_STOP_CONSUME.  Spotted by Oleg.
      
      -v3: do_signal_stop() updated to return %false without dropping
           siglock while ptraced and TRAP_STOP check moved inside for(;;)
           loop after group stop participation.  This avoids unnecessary
           relocking and also will help avoiding unnecessary traps by
           consuming group stop before handling pending traps.
      
      -v4: Jobctl trap handling moved into a separate function -

      ptrace: use bit_waitqueue for TRAPPING instead of wait_chldexit · 62c124ff
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      ptracer->signal->wait_chldexit was used to wait for TRAPPING; however,
      ->wait_chldexit was already complicated with waker-side filtering
      without adding TRAPPING wait on top of it.  Also, it unnecessarily
      made TRAPPING clearing depend on the current ptrace relationship - if

      job control: introduce task_set_jobctl_pending() · 7dd3db54
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      task->jobctl currently hosts JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and will host TRAP
      pending bits too.  Setting pending conditions on a dying task may make
      the task unkillable.  Currently, each setting site is responsible for
      checking for the condition but with to-be-added job control traps this
      becomes too fragile.
      
      This patch adds task_set_jobctl_pending() which should be used when
      setting task->jobctl bits to schedule a stop or trap.  The function
      performs the followings to ease setting pending bits.
      
      * Sanity checks.
      
      * If fatal signal is pending or PF_EXITING is set, no bit is set.
      
      * STOP_SIGMASK is automatically cleared if new value is being set.
      
      do_signal_stop() and ptrace_attach() are updated to use
      task_set_jobctl_pending() instead of setting STOP_PENDING explicitly.
      The surrounding structures around setting are changed to fit
      task_set_jobctl_pending() better but there should be no userland
      visible behavior difference.

      ptrace: ptrace_resume() shouldn't wake up !TASK_TRACED thread · 0666fb51
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      It is not clear why ptrace_resume() does wake_up_process(). Unless the
      caller is PTRACE_KILL the tracee should be TASK_TRACED so we can use
      wake_up_state(__TASK_TRACED). If sys_ptrace() races with SIGKILL we do
      not need the extra and potentionally spurious wakeup.
      
      If the caller is PTRACE_KILL, wake_up_process() is even more wrong.
      The tracee can sleep in any state in any place, and if we have a buggy
      code which doesn't handle a spurious wakeup correctly PTRACE_KILL can
      be used to exploit it. For example:
      
      	int main(void)
      	{
      		int child, status;
      
      		child = fork();
      		if (!child) {
      			int ret;
      
      			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
      
      			ret = pause();
      			printf("pause: %d %m\n", ret);
      
      			return 0x23;
      		}
      
      		sleep(1);
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_KILL, child, 0,0) == 0);
      
      		assert(child == wait(&status));
      		printf("wait: %x\n", status);
      
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      prints "pause: -1 Unknown error 514", -ERESTARTNOHAND leaks to the
      userland. In this case sys_pause() is buggy as well and should be
      fixed.
      
      I do not know what was the original rationality behind PTRACE_KILL.
      The man page is simply wrong and afaics it was always wrong. Imho
      it should be deprecated, or may be it should do send_sig(SIGKILL)
      as Denys suggests, but in any case I do not think that the current
      behaviour was intentional.
      
      Note: there is another problem, ptrace_resume() changes ->exit_code
      and this can race with SIGKILL too. Eventually we should change ptrace
      to not use ->exit_code.

      ptrace: Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints · bf26c018
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
      may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
      get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
      and thus its breakpoints released.
      This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
      of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
      a freed pointer.
      
      Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
      holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
      held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
      is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
      breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

      ptrace: Always put ptracee into appropriate execution state · 0e9f0a4a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, __ptrace_unlink() wakes up the tracee iff it's in
      TASK_TRACED.  For unlinking from PTRACE_DETACH, this is correct as the
      tracee is guaranteed to be in TASK_TRACED or dead; however, unlinking
      also happens when the ptracer exits and in this case the ptracee can
      be in any state and ptrace might be left running even if the group it
      belongs to is stopped.
      
      This patch updates __ptrace_unlink() such that GROUP_STOP_PENDING is
      reinstated regardless of the ptracee's current state as long as it's
      alive and makes sure that signal_wake_up() is called if execution
      state transition is necessary.
      
      Test case follows.
      
        #include <unistd.h>
        #include <time.h>
        #include <sys/types.h>
        #include <sys/ptrace.h>
        #include <sys/wait.h>
      
        static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 };
      
        int main(void)
        {
      	  pid_t tracee;
      	  siginfo_t si;
      
      	  tracee = fork();
      	  if (tracee == 0) {
      		  while (1) {
      			  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
      			  write(1, ".", 1);
      		  }
      	  }
      
      	  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
      	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
      	  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
      	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
      	  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
      	  write(1, "exiting", 7);
      	  return 0;
        }
      
      Before the patch, after the parent process exits, the child is left
      running and prints out "." every second.
      
        exiting..... (continues)
      
      After the patch, the group stop initiated by the implied SIGSTOP from
      PTRACE_ATTACH is re-established when the parent exits.

      ptrace: Clean transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED · d79fdd6d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
      and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
      The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
      before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
      manipulates the state of another task directly.
      
      With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
      TRACED can be made clean.  The tracer can use the flag to tell the
      tracee to retry stop on attach and detach.  On retry, the tracee will
      enter the desired state in the correct way.  The lower 16bits of
      task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
      the last group stop.  This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
      the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
      then.
      
      As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
      anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
      can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop().  This
      is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.
      
      If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
      ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
      always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
      completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
      TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
      following request to fail with -ESRCH.
      
      This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
      GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
      for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit.  Completing the
      transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.
      
      Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
      to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
      reverse transition is visible to all.  Please read the comments for
      details.
      
      Oleg:
      
      * Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
        proper bookkeeping.  Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.
      
      * Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
        different ways.  Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING.  Unhandled
        corner case is documented.
      
      * Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
        task would result in more consistent behavior.
      
      * Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
        TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
        the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach().  ptrace_stop() is now
        called with TASK_RUNNING.
      
      * Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.
      
      * Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
        TRAPPING.

      ptrace: Remove the extra wake_up_state() from ptrace_detach() · 9f2bf651
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This wake_up_state() has a turbulent history.  This is a remnant from
      ancient ptrace implementation and patently wrong.  Commit 95a3540d
      (ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic) removed
      it but the change was reverted later by commit edaba2c5 (ptrace:
      revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic")
      citing compatibility breakage and general brokeness of the whole group
      stop / ptrace interaction.  Then, recently, it got converted from
      wake_up_process() to wake_up_state() to make it less dangerous.
      
      Digging through the mailing archives, the compatibility breakage
      doesn't seem to be critical in the sense that the behavior isn't well
      defined or reliable to begin with and it seems to have been agreed to
      remove the wakeup with proper cleanup of the whole thing.
      
      Now that the group stop and its interaction with ptrace are being
      cleaned up, it's high time to finally kill this silliness.

      ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach() · 01e05e9a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
      interlocked with the tracee state.  IOW, the tracee could be running or
      sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
      called.  This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
      dangerous.
      
      The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
      toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.
      
      This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector.  I don't think it
      will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
      somewhere.  Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
      be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
      conditions are expected to be interlocked.  Although the window of
      opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
      some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.
